Any pictures of the set up? Hard to figure linkage issues without seeing.

You need what is typically called a teleflex standoff bracket.
AKA Clamp Block Outboard, or part D

Your other option is to fashion a tilt tube that sits forward of the existing tilt tube so the steering clears the curve of the tansom

I installed the Teleflex stainless steel standoff it is solid as a rock and works great. They also make a cheaper painted version but I recommend the stainless steel.
